So why is it that the plow driver can't leave some snow on the side of the road in Armstrong Creek? Carbides aren't cheap!

I Agree!
I agree that this is a major problem. They will plow the snow out of the ditch, and past the tree line. This only intensifies the situation of snowmobiles on the road, because they have nowhere else to ride, but on the road. If you want to keep them to the right, you have to give them somewhere to ride. I don't care if the plow operator doesn't like snowmobiles, because a public civil servant job is all about serving the PUBLIC, not your own self-interests. :thebomb:

:thumbup:certainly an inch or 2 of snow /sand mix on the 1/2 mile a pavement that provides access to the businesses in A-creek isn't too much to ask for. Seems to me the local establishments should be concerned about an uncompromising town ritual of plowing to bare pavement.
100's of other north woods communities are more than willing to resolve this issue to keep all parties satisfied.

I AGREE
We have a cabin just north of Armstrong Creek and many times we will not go south into town because of the lack of snow. The tail along the road from the dump into town is terrible unless there has been a recent snow. The trail south of town along the road is not much better either sometimes till you get to the Blackwell town line.I think somehow there could be a strip of snow left along the road from the dump into town and south of town also. Otherwise GREAT JOB with the trails!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

This problem is not only in Armstrong but in every township. Why do [B]ALL[/B] plow drivers feel the need to plow past the edge of the road and remove the snow in the ditch also :shrug:
I keep hearing that the residents want the roads plowed so they can their cars. The communities need tourism to survive, if we can not get to the snow in the forest the sledders will not come to ride.

Admittedly, I don't live in the area, and I only ride up here a few times a year (this coming weekend being one of them!) That said, the Green Shack is a regular (and eagerly anticipated) lunch stop when we are up. We're typically coming up from the south from Wabeno, so you all know the trail includes some big stretches of town roads. Riding that stretch is often literally and figuratively like fingernails on chalkboard! Woudl be awfully nice to have at least an inch or so to ride on. If I have to choose, I'd much rather have sandy snow/ice than bare pavenent, and I'm sure you all agree.
